You can even make a reasonable case for saying that Kerr should drive in Malaysia, but since his two supporters on here haven't worked that one out, I'm not going to do it for them.
Didn't surtees say Robbie will be back in the car anyway.
Also i think the test at Pembey was for all rookie drivers not just team GB

I dont know what bad luck Manning had in Zandvort, i thought that it was luck that got him up into a good position with the pit stops then it rained and he fell back into the field then into the kitty litter. I dont htink he drove a bad race and it was the weather that forced his hand. I do however believe that having qualified 4th then placed back to 10th was bad luck for team GB at the next meeting. Seeing as they would have been behind Malaysia on the grid who went on to win.
I think they should measure robbie and Oliver in the test sessions and then choose which driver to race, now the ban on rookie only testing has been lifted, or has it !!
